Antares

Terra Moons Antares Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a bright, pinky-coral base with shimmer that shifted between chartreuse green and gold paired with a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented where a little went a long way, while the texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too loosely-pressed into the pan.

The shift was noticeable without having to look for it while retaining a visible base color. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$15.00/0.05 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be a cross between "vivid metallic and iridescent chameleon," so they have a stronger color base but a multichrome shift. The brand recommended applying over an eyeshadow primer and in a thin layer to "intensify the shift," though I did not personally find that primer necessarily impacted the shift as they were readily apparent used on their own.

They were richly pigmented with a soft, smooth consistency that was lightly emollient but not too thick or too densely-packed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up product with a dry brush as well as fingertips/dampened brushes if preferred. The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges.

The vivid, more colored base helped make these easier to incorporate with other eyeshadows, too, so those who find multichromes daunting may like to start with this type of multichrome. They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before creasing visibly.

Daybreak

Terra Moons Daybreak Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a pale yellow with subtle, warm undertones with shimmer that shifted between dirty green to chartreuse to gold to orange paired with a soft, metallic finish. The finish wasn’t as shiny or as metallic as most of the brand’s eyeshadows (observation, not a pro or a con).

The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed and a touch powdery with very little fallout during application. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Sun Scorched

Terra Moons Sun Scorched Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a darker, bronzy base with shimmer that shifted between gold, olive green, and copper paired with a soft, metallic sheen. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly-pressed into the pan, but it wasn’t powdery.

It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and was easy to diffuse along the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.
